Leie-rs Patent No, 84,266, dated Novanta 24, 186s.

IMPROVED DEVICE FOR HANGING- PICTURE AND OTHER FRAMES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, CHARLES B. DAvLEs, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Method of Hanging Frames; and do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and beinga part of this speccation.

The drawing shows a perspective of the rear side of the frame.

The object of this invention is to attach a cord and eyes, or rings, to the back of a picture of' other frame,

' in such a manne-r that the frame may hang and be sustained at any inclination from the Wall, Without driving nails into or securing a bracket to the wall, under the frame, for that purpose.

To accomplish this purpose, I screw an eye, B, into the centre of the lower bar ofthe frame A, on its rear side. Similar eyes, G C', are screwed into the side bars,

.near their upper ends. At a proper height on the wall is secured a hook, in which is hung a ring,'D. A cord E, one end of which is secured to the eye O, is

passed up and throughthe ring D, down and through the eye B, up through the ring D, down through the eye C', across the back ofthe frame, through' the two outer holes in a slip, F, through the eye O, back to the slip, and its end secured to the same, through the 'central hole in the same.

When a frame is hung in this manner, its inclination with relation to the wall may be varied b v simply Inoving it to the angle desired, where it will remain; the

slip F being provided for lengthening or shortening the cord, and verticallx)v raising or lowering the frame on the Wall.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-` The .method of hanging frames herein described, with the eyes B, C, and C', ring D, cord E, and slip F,

when arranged with relation to the frz'une A, substan tially as and for the purposes set forth.
